Make a Meter


Kids can learn to love the metric system if they have true understanding. This game using base 10 materials and a die gives students benchmarks for centimeter, decimeter, and meter. Since the unit equals a centimeter, 10 centimeters can be traded for a long or a decimeter. Each roll of the die allows you to place one unit cube for each pip. When you have 10 units you trade for a decimeter. The first player to get 100 centimeters, 10 decimeters, or a meter wins.
